I have a huge sweet tooth and do my best to regularly satisfy my sugar cravings with healthy vegan treats. This peanut butter cup milkshake is the perfect example of that—it’s rich, it’s creamy, and it tastes just like dessert. But it’s also healthy and made with whole food ingredients like dates, peanuts, and banana as well as superfoods like cacao and lucuma. My mouth is watering just thinking about this luscious shake, and I’ll whirl one up for breakfast, lunch, or anytime the peanut butter-chocolate urge hits (read: every day). Who needs Reese’s when this luscious milkshake gives you everything you need?
